The Former Princess

Media - Rings Of Power Character - Elrond Couple - Elrond X Reader (Many Great Neice x Uncle) Reader - Y/n (Former Princess Of Numenor) Rating - 12+ Word Count - 1303

Writers notes - I have had this planned legit since watching the series for the first time, becuase I have no clue why! this isn't what they did. Why didn't Elrond go to Numenor, you know a place he has a large connection too! Given the first king of Nuemnor was his mortal twin brother! don't get me wrong I adore Elrond in Khazad Dum with Durin and Disa, it's actually the best part of Season one in my opinion, But thinking of what we could have had! Elrond seeing the artwork of Him and Elros, Elrond getting to speak to the line of King's and Queen's direct descendant of his twin brother, getting to see the island his brother poured a mortal life into grow and break away from the elves! Just... Come on! this is what remakes and expanded lore is made for! I can come up with so many beautiful, powerful scenes for this! And on the flip side Galadreil will later have such a connection or Moria and Khazad Dum, moving briefly with her daughter later on, having such a relationship towards Gimli in the books, and you know the fact she and her family live right Next Door for many thousands of years! am I just being salty.... yes. But still I have ranted so continue with your day. 

The small boat sailed softly into Numenor’s Port, A gentle breeze fluttering the sails. Elrond stood on the deck of the ship looking out across the Island. He felt a deep pride to see the island so busy, the tower’s grown tall, and the port large. It had been so long since he had seen the shores of Numenor, that he had almost forgotten them. But the faded old elven architecture proved to him beyond doubt that the time of unified Numenor and Lindon was long behind them.

Once the ship docked, guards led Elrond through the city.

They stared at him, Workers glared at him, and children ran to their mothers like he was some hellish beast. But he supposed to the long stewing people of Numenor, he likely was.

“You will remain here. And await your audience.” a guard demanded,

“I thank you,” Elrond nodded to them,

They slammed the door closed leaving Elrond alone in the grand throne room,

It had changed so much from when he last saw it, pillars lined with gold and stary banners, A large balcony out to the city below. The ceiling painted with the vast celestial skies with the Island of Numenor as a map painted on the floor. His steps echoed as he paced the grand room, his eyes fell to the throne of Numenor and for a moment he saw his brother Elros sitting there.

He remembered him, as the young man he always hoped to keep close to his heart. Even if for a moment he was forced to recall the withered, frail body he last saw his brother occupy. But even so, he smiled and briefly bowed to the throne, as if his brother still sat it.

“You see him?” A voice asked,

Elrond turned, to see the stairwell where a girl stood.

For a moment, Elrond could have sworn to all the Valar… that he saw his mother Elwing.

She stood at the top of the stairs, skin as pale as a seabird’s wings, with long curls of hair as black as coal, she wore a long gown of Numenor blue with embroidered silver and gold stars and a small tiara of sunrays in her hair.

He could only stare for a moment, before he swallowed hard and spoke, “Fo-forgive me, I didn’t hear you arrive.”

“You’d be surprised how often I hear that,” she chuckled,

“I have my doubts a lady like you could be ignored.”

She smiled sadly, “How long has it been? Since you came to Numenor Herald Elrond?”

“I last came in 442, to wish farewell one final time to my brother Elros.”

“Quite some time ago,” she slowly made her way down the steps,

“I admit, the island is not as I remember. But I am glad for it, that his kingdom and line has had such success.” he smiled, “Forgive me, but you know my name already? Yet I do not know yours.”

“Y/n.”

“A princess of Nuemnor?” he asked as he glanced at her tiara,

“I was.” She said sadly,

“Forgive me-”

“You had no Ill will,” She nodded,

“Regardless, it is my pleasure to meet with you.” He smiled as he offered his hand,

Y/n smiled and slid her hand into his own,

Elrond brought her hand to his lips and pressed a tender kiss against her skin,

“But you see him? Don’t you?”

“I do.” He nodded, “It was so long ago, and yet I see him as if it were yesterday he sat on the throne.”

She nodded, “As do I.”

“Yo- you do?” he choked,

She turned to face the throne, “Sometimes I fear, he linger’s watching over us. I fear it is because he is angry, or perhaps disappointed in what has become of us.”

“I do not believe my brother would hold such a grudge, barely believe he was capable of it in life let alone in death.” Elrond explained, “I am sure if he lingers, he lingers only out of love, for his family and his city.”

She nodded, “Forgive me, I needn't burden you with such fears,”

“Please,” he said as he took her hand once more, “You may burden me as much as you desire, believe me, an elf’s shoulders are strong and if it lightens your load I am more than honoured to take it.”

“That is very kind of you Herald Elrond,” She smiled, “but you needn’t be so kind to me, few in Numenor are.”

He scoffed, “Y/n, you are a lady of the line of kings. A niece of mine no doubt far removed by now.” he chuckled, “We are family, so? Tell me of what bothers you.”

“... I fear, this city, this island will fall. Under the hands that now rule it.”

“You are not ruling it?”

She shook her head, “We have been cast out, for another to reign, still family… but I fear their reign.”

“It is only natural to have such fears, of unknown change.” He nodded, “Do you fear for yourself? Or just for your people?”

“I fear for both.” She nodded, “For different reasons.”

He nodded once more, “Would it bring you some peace? If I was to tell you, that you would always be welcome in Lindon?”

“The elves would not want to host to us.”

“The elves, hold far fewer grudges than you’d imagine.” he laughed, “And regardless, You and your kin are always welcome in Lindon so long as I linger there. And wherever I am to later go you will be welcome there to,” he explained,

“You truly mean that?”

“I do.” he said, “These long years I have desired to be far closer to our family,”

“Thank you Herald Elrond,” she nodded with a smile,

“... Y/n?” He asked quietly, “Do you fear your fate if you linger here?”

“...yes,” she whispered,

“Do you wish to leave Numenor?” he asked in a hushed tone,

She nodded,

“I am more than happy, to take you with me when I leave.”

“I do not wish to leave my people,” she wept,

“And what then of yourself?” he asked as he brushed a tear from her cheek,

“I do not know,”

He nodded and swallowed hard, “If ever you are fearful, I am only a single message away. And you will always be welcome in my home, at my harth and in my heart Y/n.”

“Thank you, Elrond.” She nodded,

Before another word could be spoken, the large doors were forced open.

Y/n separated herself from Elrond and put a large space between them, as Ar-Pharazôn marched himself in.

I'm posting my silly headcanons

Here's an introduction to my genshin au, yes it's modern but I may have interpretated a few things, first of all, it's known as Modernized magic au (Acronym: MMAu)

Next hcs: Nationalities!

To start off, Venti, Zhongli, Ei & Makoto, Nahida, Furina, Murata, Tsaritsa and other god-like characters are all disguised as humans. (Makoto lives in this au)

The Fatui is the mafia for this au.

Sandrone and Dottore are related. (Uncle and niece) (Fun fact: Dottore got arrested for physical violence because he protected Sandrone)

Alrecchino and Eula are twin sisters.

Arlecchino has Spock/elf ears.

Xiangling, Xingqiu, Xu and Yelan are all siblings! (Xu is an npc but I gave him a vision, I see them as siblings)

Xiangling and Xingqiu are twins. (You cannot convince me to change this, I looked at their splasharts.)

Klee and Albedo are biological siblings. (Sue me.)

Sayu is 11 years old but she's in the eighth grade. (She's a smart kid/naturally gifted)

If there's a school play, you can always count on YunJin to operate it and it will always go according to plan.

Freminet had no friends, not until he was approached by Dori, who said she could pair him up with compatible people.

Lyney, Lynette and Freminet were all part of a travelling circus, which meant they were homeschooled by Caesar. (If you saw or played Lyney's story quest, you'd know who Caesar is, and yes, they're all biologically related in this au.)

Layla and Collei love to tease Bennett and Razor about their relationship.

Chongyun fell first but Xingqiu fell harder.

Aloy knows that Tartaglia's real job isn't a teacher. (They're siblings for a reason)

Aloy doesn't like being thrown in the dark, so when she was young, Tartaglia would often give her the attention she needs, despite the fact she was in elementary and he was in highschool, Teucer didn't mind anyway. (I feel bad for saying this since Aloy is neglected in game as well)

Furina(Focalors) had always loved Venti(Barbatos), after he "ascended" to Celestia, she believed she could never find him again... Well, she was wrong, she did find him.

Xinyan always thought why Lyney always had a face of guilt when they discuss about falling from high places. Maybe a bad memory?

HuTao watches over Qiqi since they're both adopted by Baizhu, HuTao always makes sure that Qiqi is close by or guarded by her best friends.

Kujou Sara is infertile so she adopted Bennett and YaoYao with Arataki Itto

Tsaritsa, Sucrose, Xiangling, Bennett, Dori and Diona are the student council.

Mika is a transmasc, he transitioned when he was young.

Freminet has a spade on his face as a birthmark, like his brother and sister.

Paimon, Lumine and Aether are all siblings. (I adore it when people give the three the sibling dynamic, they share a braincell.)

Chongyun has a yandere-ish side he won't show Xingqiu.

Tighnari adopted Collei and Razor before he married Cyno. (Cyno met Nari through Nilou, so technically, Cyno is a dad-dad, not stepdad.)

Nilou is the rich aunt and she places work before love so y'all know damn well she spoils her neice and nephew. (I love aroace Nilou)

Cyno and Nilou are siblings.

Arataki Itto and Kuku Shinobu are half-siblings. (Itto is about 4-5 years older than Shinobu. Itto's mom died so his dad remarried and then Shinobu came into the world, and Itto was protective of her during their highschool years)

Gaming and Chongyun are twin brothers. (Chongyun is the introvert and Gaming is the extrovert)

[tornrose24]

What are the opinions and dynamics of the lords to their nieces? Are some just indifferent?

Do some spoil them like a cool and or uncle would?

Eclipsa–I think she likes all her nieces equally and they all admire her to some degree. However Vanessa is her favorite–she knew her the longest and I’m sure Vanessa saw Eclipsa as a bit of a role model growing up. (Eclipsa is open-minded, plays a bass guitar, and has that combo of elegance and coolness. How could you not love that?)

Scratch–He’s a bit indifferent to the girls and doesn’t have a favorite even if they think his abilities are actually pretty amazing. Honestly, he’s closer to Libby and Darryl through Molly compared to his ‘neices.’

Eda–She has her own reasons for liking each girl. But I think Molly might be her favorite because she reminds her of Luz a bit, that her optimism is admirable (even if it might be annoying at times), and that she made her ‘brother’ happy for once in his miserable life. (Plus, Eda had a hand in making sure Molly would survive the cadou treatment and wouldn’t get screwed over in the ‘lottery.’)

Doof–Only cares about his daughter. The other girls don’t harbor much respect toward him, though since I learned that he canonically knows Spanish awhile back, I think he and Luz got along just fine. (Also, I think he would have been indifferent about his ‘siblings’ getting seemingly killed off, but even he is disturbed by the possibility of his ‘nieces’ getting killed as well. He might not be the nicest of the four lords, but the man has standards.)

Interestingly, the one ‘uncle’ the girls all harbor a soft spot for is actually Globgor. He is just a genuinely nice person with cool powers and a good singing voice. Also, in this story, he has the same Mexican heritage as his VA (he was originally human before he mutated in this story, remember?) So not only does he speak Spanish here, that won over Luz and the two have conversed in Spanish a few times (and kept each other from getting rusty in their Spanish. She also talked about her mother and late father with him and he’s the only other adult ‘family member’ besides Eda that Luz is comfortable talking about in regards to this. She was also almost traumatized when she thought she lost another father figure in her life.)

When it comes to spoiling? I think they just give the girls gifts on their birthdays and around the holidays in order to keep a decent relationship amongst the houses (they aren’t super keen on giving each other gifts). Even then, they might be small gifts since they’d rather spoil their own ‘daughters’ which includes contraband from outside the village (by that, I mean books and any other entertainment that Belos wouldn’t approve of.) Though when it comes to formal events, I’m sure Eda and Eclipsa made sure the girls were able to get the best dresses the village tailors could make (or get from the outside world).

For privacy reasons, the exact birthdays are kept top secret as much as possible. The lords have mixed feelings about people sucking up to them around those times.

And of course–as stated before–when Bill was still around, he only liked Meteora and didn’t care for anyone else besides his underlings.

[eldritchmochi]

there are a LOT of non-white cultures who refer to people not literally related to them with familial terms; a lot of the time its a sign of respect andor camaraderie. the older Filipina women at the store i worked at years ago were "the aunties" collectively, because yes they were older women and thats respectful in their and my culture, but also they acted like aunties, making sure the younger staff were fed and lovingly scolding us for not dressing for the weather, etc.

also like, using familial terms for people is *very* common in old guard queerness. i grew up in a queer family and have a distinct memory of a third grade "draw your family" project including my "uncles" (moms best friend and his boyfriend) as well as my "aunt" (my mom and step dad's girlfriend). this would have been 2001. this was the language i grew up with because this is the language that was safe. if i, a third grader, had mentioned that my uncle was gay, or that my parents were in a triad with another woman, cps would have been called and me and my younger sibling would have been removed from the house for "safety". however, they were still family and still deserved, in my young mind, to be included in my project

i had a coworker at my last job who used similar subtle, guarded language to talk about her partners, plural. she used "husband" and "partner" as well as "he" and "they" fairly interchangeably, which in modern queerness, isnt necessarily A Big Deal, but having grown up with this language use, and using it myself for my relationships, it was not hard to pick up that she was talking about multiple people. she was in her mid 40s and has been active in queer and poly communities her entire adult life, since the early 2000s

my girlfriend's boyfriend has a daughter. with strangers, i refer to her as my neice, because she is a young child and the three of them live in a more conservative part of the state, and the last thing i want is cps called. if anyone asks, i am her step mom's family, because this is the language of safety. it has pretty much always been used in queer relationships, and it is still very much used in non monogamous circles, because it is the language of safety

further, its the language of closeness, of care and respect. the people i use familial words for fondly, with a singular exception, are not people related to me. theyre people who are my family because ive chosen them to be my family, and i use "family" and familial words because.... there arent other, commonly understood words for the kind of depth of relationship i have with these people. like yeah i can use qpp for my wife, who i married to legally designate them as family, but like, i dont want to have to also endlessly explain the term. i could use it for my girlfriend also, but again .. id have to explain. i could go thru the long link of the why i call my sibling my sibling (moms ex girlfriend's kid, who i kept in the divorce), but i could just. call them my sibling

queerness is built on queering "normal" relationships, and using familial words has been the standard since forever, for many many reasons. its still a standard used for many folks, for many many reasons, in and out of queer relationships. if you think its weird and icky, perhaps go touch grass

Every now and then some discourse pops up around a queer ship consisting of a pair of fictional characters who are not blood related, but refer to themselves as "brothers" or "sisters," or are in some way, according to the fandom, "sibling-coded."

Every time I see that discourse, all I can think about are the very real queer men I once knew, who, before their deaths, lived their lives posing as "stepbrothers." The only way to avoid suspicion for being two older unmarried men living together in a rural conservative area was to pretend they were from the same family, even though the truth was that they were lovers.

They were never out in life. Their relationship was a strict secret to nearly everyone. They never knew that I knew, and sometimes it fucks me up inside that they never got to come out to me. It fucks me up that they had to hide behind a fake "brotherly" relationship for their own safety. It fucks me up to look at a gravestone that reads "beloved brother" and know what it really means, and what it could have said if they'd lived under different circumstances.

In another world, they could have been husbands, but they never had the opportunity. The world will remember them as brothers, because, even in death, that is what was safest.

The freedom to declare queer love openly is something that not everyone has. And I think more people could stand to remember that.

Introduction

Hullo, I'm Batty (he/they). I'm 29 and genderqueer.

Stuff to be aware of before interacting with me:

minors & ageless blogs DNI.

I am here for platonic friendships only. No online romances please and thank you.

The fact that I am into kink does not mean I am into sex.

My blog is intended to be SFW, but to me that term is rather indistinct. So as far as content goes: I'm a sex-repulsed ace person only interested in platonic interaction. So the content I put out reflects that.

I try to use trigger/content warnings whenever possible. If there's a new trigger you'd like me to tag in the future, or a tag you'd like me to add to a previous post, I am happy to do that for you. Just drop me a line in a dm, ask, comment, or whatever you find easiest.

I won't judge you for taking forever to reply to DMs, so long as you don't judge me for the same.

Other random tidbits...

I'm in a blissful queerplatonic-ish relationship with Kirby (@kirbler), my roommate/best friend/partner. We just moved to the East Coast (USA), with a shy cat who is nearly impossible to photograph.

Beyond pronouns, I almost always prefer to be referred to in either neutral or maaculine language. My roommate occasionally calls me her boyfriend in conversation, and my neice refers to me as her uncle. Tbh I'm still kinda questioning my gender at this point, so don't be surprised if I have to update this bio.

Oh yeah, and I'm into tickling. Hence this blog.

99.999% lee

(used to call myself a ler only - see this post if you like reading origin stories lol)

Got a soft spot for tummy tickles. 🙈

I'm only comfortable being touched in the torso region (under arms, ribs, tummy, sides).

Only here for gentle, affectionate, friendly tickling. No BDSM, no bondage.

Thanks for reading!

ALSO THANK YOU FOR THESE😭🤲🤲 THEYRE ALL SO <333

(usually for hc posts i try to have art i’ve made to go along with it BUT I DONT DRAW FINN ENOUGH <//33 well, i do, but it the scribbles don’t look too well (to me at least) so i do not post them <//3 /lh /nm but until i have finn art i’m proud of:

in return, here are some of my finn hcs!!

on the topic of what type of phone games/games in general he would play: he’s a king at sudoku.

crosswords too!!

he’s so smart, i love him dearly <33

maybe he tried a dating sim once but it did not go well for him

other than that, he definitely would play RPGs (and before ANYONE SAYS IT, based on my personal experience, i’d say finn’s more of an animal crossing fan compared to stardew.) and is the type of guy to overthink the choices he’s given in game. he doesn’t look the answer up, but oh boy is it tempting,, “if i go with this option, it will ruin my relationship with this character :(“ babes they’re not real🫶/lhj

storyteller finn however, would love stardew valley. the mystical aspects would be his favorite.

deadass would forget you can date someone bc of the lore.

anywho, back to garden variety💪🫶‼️

BUFF FINN IS SO TRUE ACTUALLY

i would like to believe he has thick thighs

but may i raise you: muscle chub finn.

somehow is seymour AND audrey as far as personality. idk how he does it but oh sweet heart <//33

also imagine him saying the most cryptic stuff when he’s sleeping. like bro are you just saying words or are you plagued with the murder of someone,, /lhj

i’m also a finn hot freaks fan truther🫶🫶 /pos

maybe he can also play piano

“fuck you joint pain!! i do what i want!!” (his ass did NOT take his pain meds and regrets his decision)

in reference to bunny finn, garden variety finn would have a pretty big family. he’s second oldest

the type of fellow to to squint his eyes, move his glasses down slightly, and bend back a little bit to see something someone’s showing him on their phone

also the type of fellow to never wear shorts unless they’re cargo shorts.

also gives him chronic pain bc i have chronic pain😼

decked out his mobility aide with various stickers gifted to him by his little nieces and nephews

in public he uses a cane and a wheeled walker.

doesn’t use one at work (like a silly goose) and regrets it

definitely forgets his braces as well

has especially terrible wrist, knee, and hip pain

ALSO WHAT IF HE CROCHETED LITTLE SWEATERS AND SCARVES FOR HIS LITTLE NEICES AND NEPHEWS TOO

you can’t tell me he wouldn’t spoil them

also goes to all of their recitals, ball games, award ceremonies, plays, literally any and every after school event. he loves those little goobers and wants to support them!!

also embarrasses the shit out of them as well!!

“hey remember when-” “UNCLE FINN, PLEASE NOT NOW OH GOD IT’S MY GRADUATION”

people who crochet are so cool and epic like actually‼️‼️/g /srs

methinks this is canon but he probably doesn’t have a lot of friends; at max he has 2-3.

jack ofc being his bestie

they have sleepovers you can’t change my mind /lhj /nm

who says i can’t make every character autistic?? i’m the nd doing the coding here!! /pos /lhj

could just be me but he definitely has a male/masc preference

GUYUH I LOVE HIM SO MUCH I LOVE TALKING ABT HIM TOO ILL DEFINITELY DRAW HIM MORE🫶🫶

okay that’s it, goodbye and stay safe🫡‼️‼️

More Chum Squad AU! (+More Art!)

Okay, so I thought I'd draw a little more for the AU, just to go a litter further into it.

As as I said before, I'm ptoud of the idea, so please don't take from it without permission, etc. Thanks :))

Squidward: It's 9am, can't you two argue sometime after lunch?

Squidward: ...

Squidward: Preferably when I'm not working?

Karen and Plankton: *LOUD ARGUING*

Plankton and Karen get along a little better in this, but they do still have days where they just won't stop, and Squidward can't handle the noise (neither can Chip, as shown in my last post on this), and what's more, Karen and Plankton both individually confide in him and just vent about the other and he's tired of them thinking he's some damn miracle worker.

Squidward: Perhaps a recipe change couldn't hurt.

Plankton is constantly wondering why he gets so few customers. In this AU, the only reason Plankton gets any customers is that they either transferred over from the Krusty Krab when Squidward quit, because they wanted to be insulted (based on the Breath of Fresh Squidward episode), they're Pearl's friends and want to talk to her during work, or they're Chip's friends and they've come over for a game night.

Squidward and Karen keep telling Plankton to just CHANGE THE DAMN RECIPE, but he won't listen. The customers usually go for drinks, though, as that's the area that Karen controls, and she's made them actually well.

Squidward: What'll it be?

Squidward's still a cashier and still has that same attitude, but genuinely prefers working at the Chum Bucket. For one, for annoying sponge in his ear all day long. Second, a boss that actually respects him. Third, he gets to work with his neice. Fourth, although they all have their problems, they do all get along, and have a more genuine relationship, and though he won't admit it, Squidward loves them all.

The way Chum Squad is designed, is that it'd be a little ore mature than the actual show. It'd still follow basic principles of how their jokes work, both verbally and physically, and still not get dark dark, but I think it'd be important to bring attention to underlying issues with the characters, like delving into why Plankton is the way he is, and sort of trying to fix his and Karen's marriage more. I think one of the best things about a good show is having genuine characters with genuine flaws that people can relate to, and that's what would make Chum Squad. They're all flawed, but they love each other and they'd help each other.

Sorry if that sounded kind of sappy or something, that's just the way I see it lol

Anyway, there is going to be a Part 3 to this at some point, which will focus solely on Squidward and Pearl, and how the uncle/niece relationship will work in this.

Thanks for reading this far. Hope you have a great day :))

[ghoulish-fiction]

headcanons for how the ghouls would act if their partner was pregnant? what kind of parents would they be???

I focused on what the ghouls would be like as parents. I kinda forgot about the first question while I was working on it. Sorry! Its fucking long so check it out below the cut! Please laugh at my dumb joke at the end.

If you wanna know what kind of dad Mountain is go read my series about him being a dad lol.

Swiss ends up being a single dad because the mother of his child was someone he was only seeing casually and she doesn't want to be a mom so leaves the Abbey leaving the baby with Swiss. Swiss is heartbroken for his baby, but he is ready to be the world's best single dad, even if he doesn't know how. He is so devoted to her and takes her everywhere he can and gives her as many experiences and learning opportunities as he can. He even takes her on the road with him, he just brings a nanny along too. Until she is too big and he literally just can't, he baby carries her. She is almost always strapped to him. As she gets bigger he can always be found playing with her around the Abbey. They go on picnics in the woods, they have tea parties in the courtyard, they read together in the library, they dance together in the ballroom, he teaches her about all the instruments in the studio. Swiss is just an A+ dad. And if he isn't a single dad I think he would raise his children with Rain.

Cirrus and Cumulus are good, if not a bit clueless, mothers. They adopted an air ghoul baby boy. Cumulus dotes on him and is always worried about him. She tries very hard not to be a helicopter parent. Cirrus is overly confident about every aspect of raising a child but constantly has to admit she was wrong and doesn't know what she's doing or she made a mistake and learns the right way to do it or ask for help. Both mothers are extremely protective of their son and will absolutely destroy anyone who does anything to him.

Cumulus: Please be careful. Cirrus! He's going to get hurt!

Cirrus: Babe, he's fine! He's having fun!

Child: Yeah mom I'm fine! *immediately fucks up whatever dangerous thing he was doing and gets hurt but like he's okay*

Cirrus: Ah fuck...

Cumulus: BABY ARE YOU OKAY?!

Rain would be a very gentle and calm parent. He would be very good at talking to his young children about their feelings. He and Swiss would be excellent parents together. When the Rain's kids and all his neices and nephews are teenagers they all like to confide in him and seek him out for advice because he is an excellent listener and wants to help these kids without judgement. They will come to him with all the embarrassing stuff they're too afraid to go to anyone else about. That leaves this poor man having so many talks about periods, heats, safe sex, not doing stupid stuff while under the influence, not doing hard drugs, what a healthy relationship looks like, how different ghoul, human, and half ghoul anatomy can be, etc. He loves them all so much and that makes these awkward conversations easier because the children's healthy, safety, and happiness is more important that how shy and embarrassed he may feel. Amazing dad and uncle.

I'm feeling conflicted and head empty on Aether and Dew. Sorry

Mist would have the coolest gender nonconforming children. I don't know enough about her to say anything beyond that lol.

Special Ghoul would be a Tender Father. lol

[diaryofthewifeofspiderman]

Sorry I have a lot. She's amazing. Here's a good one:

When She reconnected with Gayle and got that relationship good again, Mary Jane's neice and nephew became close with their cool aunt and uncle, and discovered their uncle was spiderman. They have never told anyone and neither Peter nor Mary jane know they know.

Don't be sorry! I love it and cherish you for engaging. Unlike every other fandom it's so hard to get anyone in this fandom to engage.

The fact that we never got to learn more about Gayle and that her and sons were basically dropped only proves current Spider-Man writer's have been slowly chipping away at the rich array of supporting characters in Spider-Man's History

After Mary Jane repairs the relationship with her estranged older sister,Gayle, she and Peter become close to her son's Tommy and Kevin. MJ proudly wears the title of "Cool Aunt" and spoils Tommy and Kevin while Peter fills the male role that was previously absent in their life. Peter takes his uncle role very seriously and tries his best to impart the importance of responsibility to the boys the same way Uncle Ben did for him.

When Gayle finally allows the boys to spend a week in the summer with their Aunt MJ and Uncle Peter, the boys are ecstatic. Peter and Mary Jane make sure they hide any trace of Spider-Man in their apartment in preparation for Kevin and Tommy's visit and things are relatively normal for the first couple of days.

I can't decide whether Peter's secret slips due to him carelessly saying something or slipping into the apartment in his costume when he thinks they are asleep, or if it's something more dramatic like Peter doing a superhero move outside of his costume to save them from danger, which then prompts the boys to investigate.

Regardless, Tommy and Kevin find out that their Uncle Peter is Spider-Man but make a pact to never tell a soul. Peter and MJ either never find out they know or the boys reveal it when they are much older.

I must include this in my fic prompt list!

⧼    brianne howey, cis female, she/her   /   hard times - paramore + a shattered dish, an abandoned bird, a crowd. what do these things have in common, little one? they all must be handled with CARE.    ⧽   ━━   hey, isn’t that MARA LEE TRAVERS? i read a daily prophet article on her, once ; the TWENTY SEVEN year old half blood WITCH is a HUFFLEPUFF alumnus who has gone on to be a HEALER at ST.MUNGOS. i’ve heard she can be quite DEPENDABLE & NIMBLE, but i don’t know… she came off very STUBBORN & REACTIVE in that interview. it really is hard to know what to believe these days though, isn’t it?   

pinterest , playlist , stats , bio ! ( all works in progress )

not the daughter to the travers, but his neice ! THAT travers was sort of the black sheep of the family, in a way, and is seen as a very large blemish on an otherwise dazzling history. 

that being said, mara was born to two very loving parents ! she was one of four children, and the second eldest. she took the role of being the big sister very seriously, and it’s a sort of trope that she’s never outgrown, and she’s fine with that ! when she was younger she very much loved to mimic her mother - gardening, helping her younger siblings with homework, cooking ( no matter how bad she was at it ! ). as she got older, she was the COOL older sister who bought alcohol for them and their friends, the person they called to be picked up when mom and dad was too risky an option. if anything stayed consistent, it was that she was ALWAYS ready to help ! this notion extended to pretty much anyone.

by no means does that mean she’s super responsible, she loves to have her fun too <3 she is the <3 worlds oldest teenager, if you will ! 

now for the sad - while in her younger years she really had a GREAT relationship with her parents, it did crumble a bit around the second wizarding war. mara was 20, living at home at the time as many do after leaving ~school~ when the household shifted. her dad was different - a house that was warm felt more volatile than anything else. lost on the family was that their father was under the imperius curse a la the death eaters and travers, and he was likely working alongside the death eaters, despite the actual man vehemently opposing them. at the conclusion of the war papa travers was cleared of any crimes committed due to his sparkling record and citing the curse, though in a way, damage was done. at this point, she has a better relationship with her dad ! however, there is a great deal of saddness that is sort of attached to the thought of how guilty her father still feels, and how she somehow couldn’t HELP what happened to him !

that being said, she did return to fight in the war ! during her time at hogwarts she was in dumbledore’s army, and a while after she graduated she actually joined the order. 

a healer, she spent time being a traveling healer in her early twenties, acquiring one year contracts in a few different countries before coming back to britain around her 25th birthday. she now works as a healer at st. mungos !

tldr ; a healer with a wack uncle and sad dad, who loves her family very much ! v much the Cool Older Sister niche to p much anybody ! v much the social butterfly ! can be a little bit of a spitfire, but not in the cliche. . . don’t mess with mama bear kind of way, u know?

wanted connections 

best buddies ! please. she probably has so many. imagine that friend thats like i saw this in the store and thought of u so i bought it. but also. i am clumsy so i also broke it and had to glue it back together. but don’t worry. it’s glitter glue.

exes ! give me angst. give me exes on good terms, too! give me people mara went on a handful of dates with and they or she was like no thanks <3. 

neighbors ! she prob lives alone but in a relatively nice apartment somewhere, i truly am not picky ! ppl she can knock on the door of and be like hello <3 i have wine <3 also alternatively someone that wants her to kick rocks because she plays taylor swift too loud !

people her father wronged under the imperius curse in the second wizarding war ! this is so specific. we would have to plot it. but it could be fun. could be awkward. 

people she practiced healing spells on in hogwarts when she probably shouldn’t have been <3 ! mara vc so sorry about the toe that is coming out of ur knee, but i think i fixed whatever was bothering u <3 

people she met abroad ! so vague. ppl she forced herself upon to be her friend. ppl she had a short maybe one year rendevous with and then was like so long it is my time to depart - i will remember u in therapy <3 

truly anything i am a nutcase and will quite literally take on any plot u want i will make it work

Serious question. Ok so Gordon is still 27 but why would you ship Gordon with Alyx when they have a 3 yr age gap? They're better as friends or uncle-neice.

I’m gonna take a wild guess that you’re in your mid-to-late teens, anon. Feel free to correct me if I’m wrong, but that’s the vibe I’m getting here, because the magnitude of age gaps definitely changes as you get older and it can be kind of hard to understand that until you experience it. 

My current relationship has a 3-year age gap (we’re both in our twenties). My parents have a 3-year age gap. Their parents have a 3-ish year age gap. I’d be willing to bet your parents have a similar age gap, and even if they don’t, chances are other established couples in your life do. It’s pretty common to not be the exact same age as your spouse. Gordon and Alyx having a 3-year age gap in their mid-twenties doesn’t make it inappropriate for them to date, even if you ignore the sci-fi context.

A 3-year age gap is a lot when you’re in your teens or even your very early twenties, because you’re changing so much mentally and physically and you’re (possibly) hitting so many major life milestones around that time. A 21-year-old dating an 18-year-old, for example, is a little odd (not necessarily predatory, but definitely worthy of some side-eye and caution). An 18-year-old dating a 15-year-old generally sets off even more alarm bells. But once you hit your mid-20s and beyond, age rapidly starts to matter less and less. Two people in their mid/late twenties are much more likely to be at the same place in life, both socially and developmentally. 

Also, in the HL2 universe specifically, it’s implied that Alyx may be one of the only surviving 20-somethings in Gordon’s immediate geographical area—or possibly the world (which isn’t surprising, seeing as people in her age cohort were young children when the resonance cascade happened, and kids probably didn’t fare super well during a massive alien invasion). He’s not terribly likely to find a partner who is exactly 27, and as far as we know, there’s literally nobody else out there who’s had the exact same life experiences he has (being at ground zero of the rescas, stasis, academia background, etc.). Alyx would be a perfectly viable match in any universe, but in this case, she’s also probably one of his best options if you want to get really particular about age and experience differences. 

All that said, there’s absolutely nothing wrong with not liking freemance as a romantic ship and preferring to headcanon/draw/write them as just platonic friends (as long as you’re not obnoxious or abusive about that preference). Hell, I ship it and I still love seeing content of them as friends! And nobody’s stopping you from exploring an uncle-niece dynamic either, though I will note that someone in their mid-20s is not likely to see someone who’s only 3 years older as an authority figure. (More power to you, but your mileage may vary with other people on that one.) The takeaway here is just that there’s no real age-related reason why they couldn’t, in theory, have a perfectly healthy relationship. 

Hope this helps, and as always, I’m open to follow up questions.

Since When Has Our Relationship Ever Been Easy?

Okay, here comes a subject that everyone loves to talk about when it comes to the Butterflys: Mewberty! We all know Eclipsa never learned to dip down and only achieved her Butterfly form when she entered the realm of magic, so it kind of sucks that she probably went through the misfortunes of Mewberty for nothing. Oh well. It’s still a lot to think about! She’s already one of the weirdest queens in Mewni history! Let’s see what happens when things get a little weirder…

Ages: Globgor: 13 Eclipsa: 12

Prologue CH1 CH2 CH3 CH4

CH4-My Friend Becomes My Prey

Everyone made sure to make good friends with the wall as their queen came thundering down the hallway. It was best not to get in Solaria’s way on a good day, but when she was clearly as steamed as she was at the moment? Anyone who stood her in path would be quickly and painfully run over.

 As usual, her elite Solarian Warrior Mina was hot on her heels (as well as the only one brave enough to go near her in this state). “Your majesty, I can always fill in for the princess if you want! In hindsight, I’m probably more informed about our enemies-“

 “This is the very first meeting my daughter has been requested to attend!” Solaria didn’t even bother looking at the girl as she made a beeline for her daughter’s room. “She’s going to be there, ready, pleasant, and ON TIME!” She raised her voice to give the princess a hint as to why she was about to start pounding on her bedroom door. She beat her fist against it, making it evident that she wasn’t in the mood for games.

“Eclipsa Butterfly! The High Commission is waiting for you! What in the name of all that is corn is taking-“

 “I’m not going.”

 Mina, as well as a few guards, gasped at her insolence. No one had ever dared cut off the queen like that! Sure enough, the warrior monarch looked flabbergasted before returning to her usual look of fury. “What the bloody heck are you talking about?! Of course you’re going! It’s your duty as the princess-“

 “I don’t want to go.”

 Mina looked away. As much as she enjoyed watching the brat of a princess getting into trouble, even she couldn’t help at cringe at the attitude being sent through the door.

 Solaria felt an eye twitch as she took a breath to control her temper. “Eclipsa, this is the very first meeting you’ll be attending with the High Commission. Your behavior is going to reflect on what kind of queen you’ll be when the time comes. Do you honestly want your first impression to be that you’re a selfish child who only leaves her room when it benefits her?”

 “Motheeeeeer! Just leave me alone!”

 Oh for heaven’s- “Eclipsa! If you don’t open this door right now I’ll-!”

 The queen’s words stopped as the door was suddenly flung open. Standing there was her soon-to-be-teen daughter Eclipsa, her face covered in an array of royal purple spades. Her hair was undone and falling in mops over her face. Her mauve eyes looked at her mother pleadingly.

 “Look at me! I can’t go out like this! I look like a freak!”

 Solaria glared at Mina, who tried to stifle a giggle at the princess’ woe. The woman placed a hand under her chin, giving her daughter a studious look. She hummed to herself as she lifted a curl to look at the miserable face underneath. Finally, she sighed and pinched the bridge of her nose.

 “Mewberty….of all days, why today?” She sighed to herself. “Maybe the High Commission will understand. I mean, they’re not the most tame-looking of people either…”

 Eclipsa moaned and leaned her head against the doorframe. What a travesty she had woken up to! And just when she was starting to take careful consideration on how she looked! If she was being perfectly honest, she really didn’t care what the Commission thought of her. It never mattered what she did, it always seemed to be wrong in their eyes. This was just one more thing to add to the list.

 But she was supposed to meet with Globgor that afternoon! She didn’t want him to see her like this! Lately, she had really wanted to look her best whenever they had their meetings, which was odd because they were anything but formal. The Size-Shifter was her best, or really rather her only, friend. There was no one else she could be more herself with.

 But that didn’t matter at the moment. She couldn’t bear having him see her so gross and sick-looking! He would be repulsed! She would be humiliated! What if he decided he didn’t want to hang out with her? Maybe not ever again?! No, he’d rather spend time with other monsters….maybe some pretty girl monsters….

 Her head snapped up when she heard the sound of familiar, custom-designed boots running up to her room. In another instant, her mother and Mina were shoved aside by her uncle, who looked at her with intense love and alarm. “Clippy!”

 “Uncle JJ!”

 Jushtin ran up and cupped his precious neice’s face, studying it closely. “Oh my sweet girl, what has adolescence done to you?!” He turned to his fuming sister. “Send the others away, Sis! This is a family emergency!”

 “Jushtin! You can’t just-“

 “DO IT!! Do you want to lose this child?!!”

 Solaria gave him a bewildered look, obviously not used to him barking orders like this. She looked like she wanted to argue, but finally opted to do what her brother said. With a wave of her hand, she ordered her guards and Mina away, the latter more reluctant to leave than the others. “Don’t you think you’re overreacting just a bit?”

 “Shut your filthy mouth!” he cried, startling the other. He reached into his sequence jacket and pulled out a compact. He then fervently began applying it to the young girl’s face. “My baby is having a fashion crises! What could possibly be more important than that?”

 Solaria rolled her eyes. “Oh I don’t know….the fate of Mewni?”

 “Just ignore her,” Jushtin whispered to the princess.

 “How did you know I needed you, Uncle JJ?” Eclipsa asked.

 He placed a hand on his chest. “I felt it right here, Clippy. I’ll always know when you need an emergency makeover. You can count on it.”

 “Give me a break.”

 Jushtin turned to his sister. “Why don’t you love your daughter?”

 “Ack-WHAT?”

 “Uncle JJ, I don’t want to go through Mewberty! At least not today!” Eclipsa whined. She could practically feel her body deflating. “What do I have to do to make it go away?”

 Jushtin tsked and ran his fingers through her pine-green locks. “I’m sorry, Clippy. You’re gonna have to let nature take its course.” He laughed and looked over at his sister. “You should’ve seen your mama when she was around your age! We had to put the entire castle on lockdown! She was a ferocious beast, beating up every boy she came across!”

 Eclipsa tilted her head, ignoring her mother’s sputtering in indignation. “Mother was attacking boys? Why?”

 Jushtin rolled his eyes. “Because she doesn’t have a tender bone in her body, I swear!” He gave a satisfied smirk as she closed his compact. “Alright then! Good as new! Now all we need to do is keep you away from boys for the next few hours, and this should be the smoothest Mewberty transition in Mewni history!”

 Eclipsa rushed over to her mirror, admiring her uncle’s handiwork. You couldn’t even tell she was breaking out underneath the carefully applied makeup. She sighed in relief while pinning her hair in a way that framed her face.

 “There, crises averted!” Solaria threw up her hands in the air as she ushered for her daughter to leave the room. “Now will you please keep a hold of hormones until after the meeting? A future queen must never lose her composure when facing her people!”

 Eclipsa sighed and nodded to her mother. She was about to follow her when her uncle placed a hand on her shoulder. He pulled her back so he could get a good look at her dress.

 “……Clippy, did you not have time to accessorize?”

 “OUT!” Solaria bellowed as she moved behind her daughter and forcibly pushed her out of the room.

 ____

 “-use the braid as an actual fishhook! Would she still be so high and mighty then? I’ll bet-“ Rhombulus gasped and sat back in his head. “Oh shoot, she’s back. We’ll finish this later.”

 The three Butterflys entered the room and took their seats. Eclipsa made sure to sit straight, wanting to give a honest attempt at impressing the High Commission. She certainly felt a lot better than she did before. She would have to ask her uncle for another touch-up before she headed out.

 “Sooo….you guys are late.” Hekapoo’s voice was highly unamused as she studied each royally.

 “We had an emergency,” Jushtin informed her.

 “Is it something we should know about?” Omnitraxus said from his crystal ball.

 “No!” Eclipsa pipped in before anyone else could.

 Her mother sighed. “Since this meeting is starting later than any of us would have liked, wouldn’t it be best to get started effect of immediately?”

 “Baaaaaaaah.” Lekmet pulled out a giant map and laid it across the table. There were circles etched around certain areas with the names of different breeds of monsters written around them. “Baaaaah.”

 “Lekmet says that the monsters have been colonizing all over Mewni. They’re forming new colonies based on breed and making sure to spread their communities as far as possible.”

 “How is this any news to us?” Jushtin asked. “Of course those of the same breed tend to stick together.”

 “Yes, but the thing is all the colonies are communicating with each other,” Omni said, his voice low. “We suspect that the strongholds are forming alliances with each other, strengthening their numbers.”

 Solaria pointed at the Xs etched on the map. “How could that be possible? Look at the distance between them! There’s no way they could send each other messages without us catching them! They’d need some kind of-“

 “Tea?”

 The queen frowned and looked at the young servant boy who was offering her a cup. “Uh, no. I’m fine. Thank you.”

 While the queen returned to speaking with High Commission, Jushtin’s attention became focused on the boy pushing the tea trey around and offering beverages to everyone in the room. He felt himself sweat nervously once he finally landed on Eclipsa. Crud, he needed to do something! His super cool niece was going to flip out once that boy got within breathing distance of her! Total style meltdown!

 “Would you like some tea, Princess?” the young servant squeaked.

 Eclipsa looked at the steaming cup. She looked at the boy. Finally, she smiled and took the cup with a grateful nod. “Yes, thank you!”

 Jushtin released the air he didn’t know he had been holding. Aw, he should’ve known Clippy had this covered! She was such a level-headed kid. He should’ve known she wouldn’t lose her mind like her mom did. He leaned forward a bit in his seat and gave his niece a proud thumbs-up, which was happily returned.

 “Jushtin!”

 The former ruler straightened up at the sight of Hekapoo giving him a condescending look. “Jushtin, are you paying attention?”

 “Of course I am!” he said with indignation.

 “What did I just say?”

 “…….” He looked nervously around the room. “Um…you said…”

 She sighed. “Jushtin, meet me after the meeting.”

 “Aw...”

 “It seems like the monsters are finally forming something akin to civilization, but it’s not under the hopes of serving the kingdom!” Reynaldo pointed at one of the monster pictures in the top right corner. “The Frog Men tend to stick around aquatic areas, but we’ve noticed a surprising birth rate springing up in the stronghold in the Spiderbite Forest.”

 Pop!

 Jushtin was the only one who took notice of the sudden noise. His eyes widened in alarm as he looked over at his niece.

 “The Slime Men are usually pushovers, but you shouldn’t let your guard down.” Reynaldo pointed to a picture of said monster. “They can be pretty sneaky with their cute faces and charming smiles, but trust me, slime can be pretty hard to land a hit on!”

 Pop! Pop!

 Jushtin frantically nudged his sister and gestured towards her daughter with his head. Both Butterflys flinched as they saw spades begin to rapidly appear over the girl’s makeup covered face. Her eyes matched her family’s. It was apparent that she knew exactly what was going on.

 “And the Septarians? They’re the biggest threat of all. Just look at those slender scales, gleaming fangs, and mysterious eyes-“

 “They’re our enemies Reynaldo, not Mewni’s top bachelors,” Omni interrupted, giving him a skeptical look.

 “Yeah, I know that! What’s your point? I was just nonchalantly pointing out the-“

 Popopopopopopopopopopopopopopopop!

 The sound went off like firecrackers. Eclipsa suddenly had the entire room’s attention as her face exploded with an array of spades. The princess looked mortified as she pulled her pine-green locks over her face.

 “Uh, is she okay?” Omni asked.

 “Wait, is she going through that mewberty thing?” Hekapoo accused.

 Rhombulus grimaced. “Ew, gross!”

 It was all too much. With a distressed cry, Eclipsa leaped out of her seat and bolted out of the room.

 “Eclipsa, stop!” her mother cried.

 But she was already gone.

 ___ 

Globgor gave a high-pitched roar as his head bounced off a boulder resting nearby. Stars danced around his vision, but he didn’t allow any time to rest. His vision cleared just in time to see a boot coming to stomp on his face. He rolled out of the way and pointed his speak at the Mewman soldier.

 “You’re going to pay for crossing over onto monster territory!” Globgor hissed, pointing his spear at the enemy.

 The soldier didn’t even bother answering him, instead opting to swing his sword at the other, barely missing his face. Globgor jumped back on his hands before using his tail to smack the other in the face. This caused the man to growl, grab his tail, and fling him on to the ground.

 The air left his lungs in a single whoosh. He made a reach for his spear again, only to have it kicked out of the way by his attacker. He grunted as he felt the Mewman place a booted food against his chest, pinning him down in the process.

 “I’ll have your tail for a trophy, monstser!” he sneered, pointing his sword at the child’s face.

 “Globgor!”

 The boy barely made out the sight of Tigre charging to his rescue, only to be tackled by another soldier. The other boy struggled, his eyes locked with Globgor’s. The Size-Shifter would feel touched by the other’s desperation if the situation wasn’t taking all of his attention.

 “So are monsters seriously sending kids to do their dirty work now?” A redhead soldier with a gold tooth said. He looked at the captured children with amusement. This was obviously not even a victory for him. It was just a matter of disciplining a group of rowdy kids.

 This infuriated Globgor.

 “I’m not a kid! I’m a teenager! I’m on my way to becoming a man!” Globgor hissed, clawing at his captor’s armored leg. “Don’t you dare look down at me, Mewmans!”

 “Globgor, please! Don’t make them mad! We’re in enough trouble already!” a Septarian child who had accompanied them said.

 Redhead smirked. “Well, look at that. I thought you lizard-people were supposed to be the most bloodthirsty of monsters. Yet you’re the first to submit? How sad.”

 The Septarian frowned. “I didn’t say we submit….” His voice was quiet and quickly trailed off.

 Globgor struggled to look at his comrades. He, Tigre, the Septarian, and Todd the Frog Boy were all being held down these Mewmans soldiers. They had all gone out to hunt and had run into them by mistake. Of course they had opted to fight, but they had been outnumbered by one. Not to mention they were all still very young while the Mewmans were full-grown adults.

 Redhead grabbed Globgor’s spear and twirled it around. “You shouldn’t play with sticks, kid. You’ll poke one of your creepy eyes out.” Before the monster could retort, the man stood back and studied each child carefully. “Okay so, let me educate you kids on how this works. Whenever we capture one of your kind, we-“

 “NO!” Globgor barked, fury burrowed deeply on his face.

 Redhead clicked his tongue. “You don’t even know what I was going to say.”

 “We know darn well how this works. You give your captives two options. They can either live the rest of their lives as slaves to the Mewman kingdom, or you’ll slay them where they stand.”

 “We won’t surrender.” Tigre gave a reassuring look to Globgor, letting him know they were on the same page. “We’d rather die right here then shame our race by groveling to you!”

 Redhead raised an eyebrow at the boys. He took his sword and pointed to each of the boys. “Okay so, dead, dead-“ He pointed at the Septarian. “What about you?”

 The boy went quiet. He looked over at Globgor and Tigre. Both boys looks at him with fierce glares, though not directed at him. They were keeping their faces strong, not wanting the Mewmans to see any traces of fear. This seemed to give the Septarian a little courage as he looked up at the leading Mewman with fierce, light-brown eyes. “I won’t.”

 “Dead.” He pointed his sword at Todd. “And you, froggie? What’s it going to be?”

 Before he could respond, the captain was caught off guard by the Septarian flinging dirt in his face with his tail. The soldier holding Globgor loosened his foot, as if debating whether or not to rush over to help his leader.

 That was the opening Globgor needed.

 He rocked back and kicked his captor’s foot off his chest. Once he was free, he shrank down and launched himself at the Mewman’s face, clinging on for dear life.

 Tigre followed his example by reaching forward and sinking his fangs into his captor’s wrist. With his earned freedom, he charged at the Mewman with his claws bared. He cut at his face, sending him staggering back, then charged to the one Globgor held and cut him down as well.

 “Pull yourselves together, you idiots!” Redhead cried out, charging at the boy’s with his sword held high. “They’re just children!”

 Globgor returned to his average size and ran in between the legs of the Redhead. He grabbed his spear and sent the Septarian’s weakened captor flying. The Mewman holding Todd released him exchange for a duel with the four-eyed monster. Sword clashed against spear, anger and pride bearing into the other. All the while Globgor couldn’t help but think if he could just increase his size, he would be able to overpower the other Mewman with ease. He wouldn’t be looking down at him like he was. He couldn’t stand being looked down upon especially by Mewmans!

 “Globgor, come on! We need to go!” Tigre called from the edge of the border.

 Snap!

 Globgor’s speak snapped in half.

 The Mewman raised his sword to slice him in half. He dodged by rolling out of the way. He climbed over the man and leaped towards the direction of his friends. He skidded to a stop once he noticed that Todd was the only one who hadn’t reached the border that lead into monster territory.

 “Todd, come on!” Globgor was about to charge for the still kneeling Frog Boy, only to be held back by Tigre. “They won’t dare follow us into monster territory! They’ll have every monster in the forest after them! Let’s go!”

 Todd was silent as the guards instantly surrounded the boy. Globgor was right. There was a very strict yet fragile agreement that Spiderbite forest was divided into two halves-the monster side and the Mewman side. Any members of either race caught trespassing was liable for death or capture. Should the guards follow the children now, they would be quickly outnumbered.

 Globgor strained against his friend’s hold. “Tigre, let me go! I have to save him!”

 “G, don’t you get it?” he gave the other a little shake in his arms. “He doesn’t want to be saved!”

 Globgor froze. He looked at the look of resignation on the captured monster’s face. There wasn’t a trace of a fighting spirit to be had. He looked ashamed. Defeated. No….no way. There was no way.

 “Todd!” he called out again, struggling with all his might to return to the Mewman side of the forest. He couldn’t break Tigre’s grip though, or that of the Septarian that just joined in holding him back. “Todd, don’t do this! Come on! Run! Or fight back! Do something!”

 “I….I can’t.” Todd slowly held his hands up as Redhead slapped a pair of cuffs on him. “I’m….I’m sorry, Globgor. I’m…I’m too scared.”

 “Don’t be scared! Just come on!”

 “G, let’s go!” Tigre began to pull his friend away, doing his best to advert his own eyes as Todd quietly walked away with the soldiers.

 “Todd!” Tears of anger and grief stung Globgor’s eyes. “You’re a coward!! A traitor! You’re bringing shame to all of monsterkind!”

 Realizing there was nothing else that could be done, Globgor finally turned around and went with the others, knowing he would never see his companion again.

  ___

Globgor mindlessly toyed with the ponytail that hung at his neck. His heart was filled with disappointment, disgust, and betrayal. He had heard of the monsters who had brought dishonor to their people by choosing to save their own skins by serving the enemy, but never would he have thought that there would be such a person in his own village. Not someone he considered a friend. Todd’s hatred for Mewmans had always been apparent. How could he ever think to submit to them?

 “You doing okay?” He didn’t look up as he was joined by Tigre. He didn’t like to show anyone any weakness, not even him. He wasn’t a little child that needed to be coddled. He was on his way to becoming a man. Geez….why couldn’t he grow? When was he going to be able to increase his size? What was taking so long? Was there something wrong with him?

 “Hey, G! You still with me?”

 Globgor finally looked up at his friend and nodded. “Yeah, I’m okay. I just….can’t help feeling like we lost that battle. I feel a little ashamed to go back home like this.”

 Tigre hummed and tilted his head to the side. “Well, I mean, do we have to tell the grown-ups what happened?”

 “Of course we do!” How could his friend even suggest they do otherwise? “We have a duty to them! They need to know there were Mewmans on our land!” He sighed. “Plus I think they’ll notice that Todd is gone now.”

Tigre shook his head. “Oh yeah, I didn’t even think about that…”

 Globgor paused to look back at the dark-haired Septarian walking quietly behind them. He didn’t know the kid very well, but he had asked to accompany them on their hunting trip. He was a shy little guy, but he had showed more courage today than other members of the party. A half-smile appeared on his face as he slowed down enough for the guy to catch up.

 “Well, things probably would have turned out a lot worse if we didn’t have this guy to help us out.” He patted the monster on the shoulder in emphasis.

 The Septarian looked startled. He had obviously been lost in thought. He pointed a finger at himself, looking at the older monster with wide eyes. “Wha-who me? Oh, no. No, no. I didn’t do anything really.”

 “Hey, don’t be so modest. That was quick thinking there with the sand! I don’t think I would’ve broken free if you hadn’t done that!”

 “No, no really! It was just a cheap trick!”

 “A cheap trick that saved our butts!” Tigre said with a smile.

 Globgor titled his head, amused by the humbleness displayed by the lizard monster. “Hey, I don’t think I ever got your name. What is it?”

 The Septarian gripped his right arm and looked off to the side. “Um, m-my name is Toffee.”

 Globgor smiled and gave a light punch to the other’s shoulder. “Well Toffee, I’m glad you decided to come along with us-“

 “-Why?” Toffee cut in before the other could continue what he was saying. “I’m not strong and agile like you are. Or my dad.”

 “’Dad’?”

 “The head of the guard? The guy who’s been training you and the other recruits?”

 “Wait, hold up!” Tigre cut in, looking at the Septarian with wide eyes. “Captain Seth is your dad?! I didn’t even know he had any kids!”

 Toffee gave a nervous laugh. “Uh…yeah. He doesn’t like to talk about me much….I’m usually in my room. Studying. I enjoy reading. I’m good at that.”

 Globgor paused before shrugging. “Okay, so you don’t have all the moves down, but it seems what you lack in strength you make up for in brains!”

 “Yeah, well try telling that to my dad. You really think he appreciates having a son who ‘knows a bunch of things’?

 Tigre and Globgor both groaned. Seth was a strict, merciless leader. He prized strength above everything else, and the minute he saw a trace of a weakness in someone, he would make them suffer for it. No doubt he had little to no appreciation for his son’s booksmarts.

 Globgor placed a hand on Toffee’s shoulder. “Well, hey! If you want, you and I could practice together in private. Maybe a little extra training with a more patient teacher is all you need to get the hang of things!”

 A smile appeared on Toffee’s face. “Really? You’d do that for me? I mean, I really don’t want to get in your way-“

 “No, not at all! Any way I can make our forces stronger, I’m happy to do it! Besides, I see a lot of potential in you. With a little more time and dedication, I can definitely see you becoming a fearsome foe of Mewni!” Just as he was finishing his declaration, Globgor’s eyes happened to look up the sun. He felt his stomach drop once he realized what time it was.

 “Okay we’ll talk about this later guys gotta go!” Globgor rushed as he started to head east.

 “What? You can’t just leave us to tell the grown-ups by ourselves!” Tigre called after him.

 He got an apologetic look sent his way. “I know, I’m sorry! But I need to get started on my size shifting training!”

 “Is…that where you go every week?” Toffee spoke up, scrunching his brow in confusion. “I don’t mean to be rude, but what exactly do you need training in that for? You just have to shrink and return to normal size.”

 Globgor gave a deadpan look. He held out his hand and made it shrink to the size of a baby’s. “I change the size of my body parts too. This takes a special kind of workout. It’s a Size-Shifter thing. You wouldn’t understand.”

 “Can’t you do it tomorrow? You know, considering the circumstances?” Tigre asked.

 Globgor spun around continued to jog down his path. “Can’t do! If I put it off, I won’t get to it! Gotta go! Save some dinner for me! Bye!”

 “Wait, G!” his friend cried.

 But he was already gone.

  ____

Despite the horrible events that had transpired before this meeting, Globgor couldn’t help but hum to himself as he made his way to the secret bay hidden on the edge of the woods. He knew the place by heart at this point. Good thing it wasn’t a popular spot. The sun was beginning to set, which meant it was time to meet up with his secret friend.

 Okay, okay, so maybe he had a teeny, itsy-bitsty, wittle bit of a soft spot for her. As in, he liked her a lot more than he should have. How could anyone blame him thought? They’d been friends for five years now, and they’d always met once a week. He still thought that Mewmans were the scum of the mewni, but Eclipsa was that one rare gem that managed to remain uncorrupted by her toxic race. She’d even gone as far as to sneak food, clothes, and other resources out of the castle for Globgor to deliver to his people!

 Oh, how he looked forward to the day when she became queen! If she kept this tolerant attitude towards monsters, then maybe things would finally start looking up for them! And then they wouldn’t have to hide their friendship anymore!

 ….Heh! Not that that was particularly important! She just…really had a weird effect on him. She made him feel….lighter. Happy. Wasn’t it natural that he’d enjoy feeling that way and the person who made him feel as such? It was only logical, really.

 It was really no surprise that his mood drastically improved the closer he got to his destination….the surprise came from what he saw when he finally saw the girl in question. She was sitting by a tree, a paper bag covering her head and long, yellow globes that really didn’t go with the rest of her outfit. What in the world…?

 “Eclipsa…?” Globgor’s voice was cautious. He was used to the girl’s weird hijinks by this point, always surprising him with the things she said and did. Still, this was the first time he saw her do something so….nonsensical. Plus, her hunched form made it seem like she was trying to hide herself. For as long as he’d known her, the princess had always been unapologetic for her strange nature. Why did seem so timid? “Are you…okay?”

 The girl gave a small gasp and looked in the direction of her friend’s voice. “Oh, Globgor! Hey there! I’m so glad you’re here! I’ve been waiting here for awhile. I guess I just couldn’t wait to see you…”

 “Uh huh…” Globgor looked the girl up and down before taking a seat next to her. “Yeah, it’s good to see you too. Um…what are you wearing?”

 Eclipsa ran her gloved hands over her clothes. “A midnight blue dress.”

 “I mean on your head.”

 “Oh, it’s a bag.”

 “……”

 “……”

 “Eclipsa.”

 She groaned and held her gloved hands up to her covered face. “I’m…..I’m going through Mewburty.”

 “…..Going through what now?”

 “You’ve never heard of it?” When the boy confirmed this, she scratched the side of her bagged head, trying to think of a way to explain it. “Well….it’s like….” Oh, this was humiliating. Was it even appropriate to discuss Mewberty with a boy? Did she care? “It’s something we Butterflys go through during our early teen years. It’s like….what you’re expecting with your growth thing!”

 Globgor’s eyes widened at this. “Wait, really? Are you saying that your inner power is starting to wake within you?”

 “I…..I think so…”

 “That still doesn’t explain your makeshift armor you’re donning.” Globgor put a hand on the bag, only to have the girl shoot away from him with a squeal.

 “No, don’t! I’m hideous!” She scrunched up again while pulling the bag tighter over her head.

 Globgor frowned. “Eclipsa, are you seriously going to spend all our time together with your face covered? This is ridiculous. Just take the bag off.” He sighed when she shook her head in response. “Come on, I’m not going to hold a conversation with a paper bag! Quit being silly!”

 ….

 A whimpering noise came from Eclipsa as she slowly removed the bag, her gloves being discarded shortly after. Every inch of her was covered in spades, making it look like she had a bad case of the chicken pox. She looked at the other with the most pitiful of expressions, clearly feeling very embarrassed by her predicament.

 Globgor gave her a studious look. His eyes took in every exposed mark. “Hm….so this is Mewberty?”

 Eclipsa nodded.

 “Is it permanent?”

 “No…”

 “Then I’m not sure why you’re making such a big deal out of this.” Globgor shrugged and scooted closer to the girl. “It’s just the two of us here, and I couldn’t care less about what you look like.”

 Eclipsa felt her face heat up at this. “You mean…you think I’m pretty no matter what I condition my skin is in?”

 “….What?”

 “Nothing!” The girl covered her cheeks in embarrassment and ducked away. She shook her head, groaning in disgust. Why was she suddenly She would’ve started slapping herself if she didn’t know it would make her look like a bigger dope. Why was she suddenly acting so weird? And not in a charming way? It was just Globgor! Why did she feel like she was going to pass out?!

 “A-Anyway, I’m sorry I didn’t bring any food or stuff for you to take back to the village. I had my first meeting with the High Commission and then like out of nowhere, I started breaking out like crazy! I don’t know…I just wanted to come see you right away. I knew you’d throw a fit if I went to your village though, so I came here to wait for you instead. Ugh, of all days why did it have to be…”

 Unbeknownst to Eclipsa, Globgor was barely paying attention to her words. Instead he was focused on the deep red spades that littered the girl’s ivory skin. Before he knew what he was doing, he took a fingernail and began scratching at one of the marks. It came off like a sticker. He silently gasped. Crud! Was he allowed to do that?! He quickly put it back on her arm. It fell right off. He grabbed it, licked one end, and stuck it again.

 “-get what I’m saying?”

 “Huh, wha-huh?” Globgor raised his hands in the air, trying to look as innocent as possible.

 Eclipsa frowned. “Globgor, have you been listening to me?”

 “Oh yeah, sure, why not?” He pulled his knees up to his chest. He gave the girl a tender look, one he reserved only for her. “Look Eclipsa, if you’re not feeling well-“

 “You’re not about to tell me to go home, are you? We only get to see each other once a week! If we skip today, I’ll just die!”

 Globgor groaned and rolled all of his eyes. He cupped the girl’s face and leered at her. “Have you ever considered you’re a little on the melodramatic side?”

 Eclipsa stares at him blankly.

 “……Eclipsa?” He snapped his fingers in front of her face. “Eclipsa? Princess? Hello? Wha-“

 “Touch me again, Globgor.” She reached forward, now being the one to cup the other’s cheeks. She began to breath heavily as she leaned forward and rubbed her face against his.

 Suffice to say, alarms were beginning to go off in the monster’s head. “Uh….Eclipsa? What are you doing? This stuff isn’t contagious, is it?”

 “Globgor….so soft…never knew you were so soft…”

 Globgor found himself in a bit of a wrestling match as he struggled to keep the Mewman girl off of him. “Eclipsa! Seriously, this is really weird! And I mean, more weird than usual! I need a little personal space here!”

 “I AM your personal space!!” Eclipsa suddenly lunged at the boy, knocking him on his back. She made cooing sounds as she buried her face in the crook of his neck. She inhaled his scent, getting light-hearted from the warmth spreading throughout her body.

 Globgor sputtered in indignation, struggling to resist her forceful cuddles. “Eclipsa, what are you doing?! Knock it off! Get off me! I’m serious!” Taking his tail, he forced it between the two of them and threw her to the side. He sat up, getting ready to give her a piece of his mind, when-

 BAM!

 A pair of white wings burst out of back. She made a high-pitched wailing noise. Before her friend could move, she took to the skies, zooming off into the horizon.

 ……

…….What the heck just happened?!

 His friend evolved into some sort of moth creature right in front of his eyes! How come she never told him she could do that?! Was this part of the whole Mewberty thing? Man, Mewmans even got power boosts during their “changing” years! No wonder monsters could never catch up with them!

 …..Speaking of catching up, it’d be in his interest to do so because ten Princess was currently heading straight for his village!!

 Globgor bolted back in the direction of his home, waving his arms around wildly. “ECLIPSA!! WAAAAAIIT!!”

 Sweet corn, how many times was he going to have to chase after this girl?!? He needed to get a leash for her or something!!

 ____

 Oh crud oh crud oh crud oh crud oh crud oh crud

 He knew he didn’t stand a good chance of beating Eclipsa there, but he didn’t expect her to cause this amount of chaos before he arrived!

 There were webs everywhere, coating each and every cottage. Many of the boys of the village were trapped within, rightfully panicking. Soldiers were grabbing their weapons, yelling over the panicking villagers. No doubt they had seen Eclipsa and were preparing to fight her.

 He simply couldn’t let that happen.

 His eyes searched frantically as he pushed his way through the stick and fear surrounding him. He needed to find her! What if someone recognized her? She’d be killed on sight! Or captured! No!

 He eyes locked on to Tigre, who was standing next to Puma and Toffee. “Guys! Hey!”

 Tigre looked up and waved him over. “G! You finally made-“

 “Who did all this?!” He grabbed the other by the shoulders, his bottom eyes baring into the other’s. “Where is it?!”

 All three pointed to a milky white butterfly form currently slinging a batch of monsters into a sticky web. Globgor could feel his stomach drop to his feet. What in the name of mewni was she doing?! Had she completely lost her mind?! What was she planning on doing with those boys anyway??

 “Don’t worry, my father is getting a weapon. He’ll be here soon,” Toffee informed.

 “No! No, we can’t fight it!” Globgor moved in front of his friends and held his arms out, blocking the way to Eclipsa.

 Tigre’s brow scrunched up at this. “What? Since when do you back down from a fight?”

 “We….we don’t need to hurt it! Clearly it’s just a monster who’s very confused-“

 “What kind of monster?” Toffee interjected. “I’ve studied up on all kinds of monsters, and I’ve never seen-“

 “It’s probably just a rare type! One that’s not in your books!” Globgor was a flailing mess. He cared a lot about these guys, but he didn’t know what would happen if his secret was blown up right then and there. Because there was no way he could let anyone hurt her. He just couldn’t! Did that mean he was ready to be painted a traitor in exchange for her safety? Wait, no! He wasn’t a traitor….was he? Their friendship was harmless! If anything, he was gaining strong intel on Mewmans by hanging out with her!

 “Hogwash!”

 Globgor was yanked out of his stupor. “W-What?! What is?!”

 The group stepped aside as a green muscular Septarian approached them. He pointed at the flying creature with a clawed finger. “Are you kids blind? That thing isn’t of our kind! It’s in the shape of a butterfly!”

 The group looked alarmed, particularly one Size-Shifter. “P-Personally I think it looks more like a moth-“

 “Obviously this creature is some kind of spell from the royal family! Some kind of unstable version of their cursed Butterfly forms!”

 ….A spell? Okay, he could work with that. “Y-Yeah! I guess you’re right, Captain Seth! Those blasted Butterflys!”

 “AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH!!”

 The group looked to see yet another monster succumb to the capture of the “spell”brought on by the Butterflys. He was wrapped up in a cacoon and sprayed with an array of spades.

 Toffee sucked in air through his teeth. “I sure hope she doesn’t plan on feasting on them later, like a spider.”

 “I think she’s pretty!” Puma pipped in.

 Seth held up his flail and gave it a sharp turn. “I’ll take care of this beast. You kids just stay back.”

 “Um….” Toffee cleared his throat and softly approached the elder. “Dad, if you need some help-“

 “I’ll get your sister.” Seth’s expression made it clear he wasn’t willing to discuss the issue. “I’m pretty sure you won’t be able to read the enemy to death, son.”

 Toffee immediately retreated back to his original position. “U-Um….right.”

 Seth placed his fingers to his lips and gave a high-pitched whistle. “Tish! Let’s go!”

 A female Septarian suddenly burst out of a house’s window and leaped for the fluttering invader, brandishing a sharp ax. “YAYAYAYA! FOR MONSTERS EVERYWHEEEERE!!”

 “No wait! Please!” Globgor cried, standing in front of Seth and spreading his arms out.

 Utter contempt appeared on Seth’s face. “You dare stand in the way of the captain of the guard? Just who do you think you are?” he sneered.

 Globgor looked frantically from side to side, trying to find an answer. “U-Um, well-“

 He gave a harsh ooof as Seth shoved him aside with his tail. With that distraction put out of the way, he charged to join his daughter in the fight.

 Tish shouted with fury as she swung her ax at the butterfly creature, cutting several webs and spades along the way. Even with her traps discarded though, the butterfly thing barely gave her a glance. Even when the Septarian managed to nick off one of her hairs, the most the thing did was blink.

 “Taste my wrath, createn!” Seth swung his own weapon at the creature, who zipped away at the nick of time. She didn’t look concerned, just confused.

 Before the Septarian could strike again, Eclipsa shot him some of her webs, stopping his attack. Tish meanwhile took a swing for the girl’s head. The girl’s face remained blank as she grabbed a hold of the ax blade and clung to it with all her strength.

 “What the-? Ew, ew, ew! Get off! Literally get off!” Tish wailed.

 Down below, Globgor was fighting off a panic attack. Seth was the strongest monster in the village, and his daughter was no easy foe either! If he didn’t do something soon, Eclipsa was going to be clobbered!

 “Guys, we have to do something!” He looked to his friends in desperation.

 Tigre looked up at the commotion going up on the rooftops. “Why? I’m pretty sure those two have got it.”

 “Yeah, but…” What was he supposed to say? He couldn’t very well tell them the mysterious ‘spell’ was actually the princess of Mewni and a very dear friend of his. He had no idea what this craziness was all about, so he knew he’d have no way to explain her actions, even if his friends somehow decided to be cool with his forbidden friendship. “Um….what if, uh….what if it’s secretly really strong? What if it’s getting ready to blow the Septarians out of the sky! We have to make it leave the village before then!”

 “Are you suggesting we reason with a magical spell?” Toffee asked, his face more concerned than aghast. “Sorry to say, no matter how sentient a spell may look, it’ll always obey the one who cast it. It has no free will of its own. The only chance we have is to destroy it.”

 Puma reached inside the basket she always seemed to be carrying and pulled out a container full of fresh meat. “Maybe we should offer it some food. Do spells get hungry?”

 “You want to feed a Mewman spell Mewman flesh?” Tigre asked in mild disgust.

 “No!” Globgor cried, snatching away the container. He doubted the meat would get Eclipsa’s attention, but oh wow, the thought of her eating some of it made him sick to his stomach. He made a mental note to himself to NEVER let the girl eat anything that came from his village. Particularly the meat. She’d need to stick to her….

 An idea suddenly struck him. He handed Puma back the container and headed for his own makeshift living quarters. “I’ll be right back! Don’t go near that thing, guys!”

 The three monsters exchanged confused looks.

 ___

 “Why can’t you just hold still?!”

 Tish put up a good effort, swinging her ax back and forth, diagonal, and everything in between. Every swing was met with a blank stare and a dodge, which only fueled the other’s anger.

 However, while the girl’s attention was seized, Seth managed to come up behind her and clutch his muscular arms around her in tight grip. He then bodyslammed her, pinning her down under his weight. “Tish, now!”

 His daughter nodded eagerly, holding up her ax with bloodthirsty delight. She raised the weapon, getting ready to decapitate the fluttering brat when-

 “Hey! Over here!”

 The three of them looked down to see Globgor below them, fervently waving some sort of chocolate bar in their direction. He motioned with one hand for his target to come after him. “Come here! You want this? Come and get it!”

 As if the monster had somehow tossed the girl his strength, the pale butterfly broke free of Seth’s gasp and charged after him. The man looked at Globgor incredousely. “What the heck do you think you’re doing boy?!”

 “I’m going to lure it away the village! You free the captives!” he called before heading out with his trusty chocolate held high.

 “Exscuse me?!” Seth bellowed after him retreating form.

 Tish sighed and shook her head. “Candy….why didn’t we think of that?”

 ___

 “Okay, okay, follow me. Follow me. Keep your eyes on the prize…”

 Globgor breathed a sigh of relief once he felt like they had retreated far enough from his village. He glared at the girl, his fangs grinding against each other. “Okay, you owe me a huge explanation, Eclipsa! What were you thinking? I mean, have you actually lost your mind?”

 He rolled his eyes at the girl’s still eager expression staring at him. “You don’t deserve this, y’know? I swear, you drive me crazy sometimes!” He dejectedly threw the snookers bar at the girl.

 Eclipsa didn’t even look at it. Instead she fluttered closer and closer to the boy, batting the weird millions of eyelashes she had suddenly gained with this transformation.

 Globgor’s eyes widened as a sneaking suspicion started to creep into his mind. He flashed back to the boys of his village strung up against their will. He gulped and began to sweat.

 “….Whelp!” He clapped his hands together. “Today was fun, but I really should hear back to my village and check up on everyone because you kind of caused a ruckus and-“

 “Boooooooy…”

 The first word she had said since her transformation.

 “Ok, bye!!” He spun around and began charging in a different direction. Despite his words from before, he couldn’t allow himself to go home. Not yet. If she followed him, he’d be right back to square one. He just needed to outrun her until she got tired. Surely she’d get tired of flying before he got tired of running, right?

 “Boooooooooy….”

 Oh geez oh geez oh geez oh geez!!

 She was actually chasing him!!

 Eclipsa, snap out of it already!!

 Taking a deep breath, the boy shrank down to his minuscule size and took to the trees. He began hopping across the branches, hoping escaping in this size would stop the girl from following his trail.

 This went on for awhile before he finally ran out of energy. He panted as he flopped down on the high branch he had been standing on. He immediately had to cease his breathing when he heard what sounded like fluttering wings. He covered his mouth and looked around frantically for his predator. He gave a soft sigh of relief once he saw it was just a bird.

 This was getting ridiculous. Never in all his wildest dreams did he think he’d be running scared from Eclipsa of all people. She was completely harmless! A little too bold for her own good, but harmless! He had no idea she could be so terrifying! It was making him see her in a completely different light.

 ….But what kind?

 Globgor was still pondering this when he finally decided it was safe to leave his hiding spot. He climbed down the tree and returned to his normal size. If he was being completely honest with himself, there was something….exhilarating about being hunted down like prey. Well, he knew he wouldn’t have felt that way if it was a Mewman soldier chasing him, but with her it was….appealing? No, er, entertaining? No, that wasn’t it either…

 Before he could continue his thoughts, he found his world flung upside down as a makeshift trap tightened around his ankle and sung him upside. He gave a distressed cry once he saw the trap was made out of sticky web material. How did-?

 “Booooooy.”

 He squeaked and turned his body to see the upside down form a white butterfly. Her expression hadn’t changed since he last saw her. She didn’t even look a little tired.

 “Okay Eclipsa, this has gone on long enough! Let me go right now!” The boy crossed his arms in a show of his impatience.

 The girl flew up the captured monster. Instead of releasing him, however, she took more of her webbing and glued his folded arms to his chest.

 Well, in hindsight he supposed be should have seen that coming.

 He grimaced in fear as the girl approached him from the front. What was she going to do to him? He never saw what she had intended for her captives in his village. She was going towards his face….was she about to suck his brain out or something? Was this really how it was going to end for him? He was going to be taken out by Eclipsa of all people? The one person he cared most about? He squeezed his eyes shut, unable to watch the girl’s face any longer. He needed to-

 A small, wet pressure was placed on his cheek. Then another on his other cheek. On his forehead.

 His eyes sprang open as the actions became more frantic. Wait…..was Eclipsa….kissing him??  She was! She was fervently peppering kisses all along his face! But….but why? Was this what she had in store for the other poor monsters back at his village?

 “E-Eclipsa, stop!” He moved his face and forth, desperately trying to make sure she didn’t come in contact with his mouth. “Have I done or said anything to make you think this is okay?! Get ahold of yourself!”

 His cries fell on deaf ears. He wiggled like a fly caught in a web, trying to ward off the unwanted acts of affection. Unwanted. Unwanted. Unwanted? Un….wanted? Wait, what was going on? Why was he feeling all fuzzy? It….it was because he was upside down, right? Yeah, all the blood was rushing to his head! Right?

 Why wasn’t he protesting any more? Fight man, fight! You know, on second thought, maybe he should just accept his fate. After all, that chase had really gotten his heart pumping, so he was really tired but still full of adrenaline, and well, maybe it wouldn’t be the worst thing ever if he let her kiss his mouth after all he was a teenager now and he had to get his first kiss at some point and well, since she was already attacking him with her affection…

 Globgor hadn’t realized he had started puckering his lips until he heard a sharp gasp come from his captor. His eyes snapped open as the girl collapsed on the ground, suddenly shedding spades at an alarming rate. She groaned in what sounded like agony as she curled herself into a tight ball.

 “E-Eclipsa? Eclipsa! Are you okay?”

 A pause. The girl’s white wings suddenly shot back into her body, as if they were window blines that had suddenly been released. Another groan could be heard as she slowly stood up, revealing that her milky exterior had disappeared. She was back to have curly, pine-colored locks with only two spades to cover her cheeks. She stretched her arms and blinked wearily. She looked as though she had just woken up from a nap.

 “Eclipsa! You’re back to normal!”

 The girl looked confused before it fully dawned on her that her friend was currently in front of her, hanging upside down by some sort of sticky trap. She ran up to him and pulled on the webbing, her eyes wide with alarm. “G-Globgor?! How did you get like this?!”

  ____

Well, after that little adventure, Globgor wasn’t surprised to discover he had a lot to think about on his way back home. He had explained to Eclipsa everything that happened, putting empathies on how terrified his people had been of her. She apologized in her Eclipsa way--by sounding as if she had just accidentally bumped into someone, rather than traumatizing all he held dear. It appeared like the girl was too relieved to be back to normal to feel too much remorse. She had to go home shortly after that to let her family know that she hadn’t run off to another dimension or something.

 Now Globgor was by himself as he made his way back to his village, thinking over the events that had just transpired. He kicked aside every rock that crossed his path. Every now and then he hands would move up to his face, tracing the areas that his friend had attacked him with her sweet kisses.

 Attraction. That’s the name of the word he had been feeling. Having her chase him like that, capture him, and enforce her dominance….it had made his blood race. His heart was pounding. His body was sweating. At the time, he had felt actual attraction for the Mewman girl.

 What the corn?

 No. No, no, no. He could not go down that path. Yes, of course he cared about her. She was his best friend. But…attraction? How could he be attracted to her? Her creamy soft skin, her shiny curls, her deep eyes, why was he thinking about her physical features in a complimentary fashion?!

 AUGH! Ok. Ok, ok. Eclipsa was the exception to the whole ‘all Mewmans are scum’ rule. So, maybe she could be the only decent looking Mewman as well? Like, she was a really nice girl. A handful, sure, but good. Surely that had some sort of effect on her physical appeal. Yeah, ok. Her pleasant personality was affecting the way he saw her appearance.

 Not that he was going to act on this feeling, of course. Nooo way. There would be no more kissing in the future. Nu uh. He could justify his friendship with her, but anymore more was just barbaric. Right? Right. Good talk, self.

 Once Globgor entered the gates of his village, he was yanked out of his thoughts by the quite whispers surrounding him. He looked up to see the entire village looking at him with wide eyes. For a horrifying moment, he thought his secret had been found out. Perhaps his people had seen him being attacked with butterfly kisses. This was his fear before Tigre pulled himself to the front of the crowd and looked at him expectantly.

 “Well?”

 Globgor looked rapidly from side to side. “Um….well what?”

 “What happened to the butterfly thing, G?”

 Ooooh, right. He lead her right out of the village. He scratched the back of his head and grinned uneasily. “Um, yeah! Don’t worry about it! I got rid of it!”

 The crowd erupted in applause, much to the boy’s surprise. They rushed over and began carrying him on their shoulders as a group somehow. They clapped and cheered and chanted his name.

 “That’s my best friend!” Tigre cried out, pointing proudly at the elevated monster boy. “My best friend saved the village!”

 “Oh, he’s a hero!” Puma called before pelting the boy with chocolate chips she had in her basket.

 Globgor laughed nervously, not knowing how to take this sudden praise. Was this wrong? He did technically get rid of the threat. Who cares if it wasn’t by killing it? No one had to know about that. He wasn’t lying. He just wasn’t correcting anyone’s assumptions. He could just enjoy this and eat the throw chips, right? He wasn’t doing any harm. He was giving his people hope. He needed to stop overthinking everything.

 Unbeknownst to the boy, the Septarian family of three were standing a few feet away, watching the celebration. The only one of them that seemed pleased by the sight was Toffee, who couldn’t help but smile in admiration. “Wow. Globgor is really proving to be something. He’s getting stronger by the day. It’s only matter of time before he’s stronger than-“

 Toffee was immediately silenced by the glare sent his way by his father. His sister nudged her father in the elbow, grinning cheekily at him. “Relax, Dad. He’s only this strong cause like, you’ve been training him so well, y’know?”

 Seth sighed and gave Tish an appreciative pat on her head. He turned his back on the jubilee and motioned with his head. “Come on, Tish. We’ve got some training to do. And Toffee…” He shook his head with a groan. “Go read your books or whatever. Just don’t embarrass me.”

 “…..Yeah. Of course.” The boy muttered as his family left him on his own.

Eclipsa chewed at the end of her pen as she looked over the different pictures of monsters she had cut out from some books she found. She was going through each one, rating them from 1-10 out of physical appearances. She was surprised to see the she found the Septarians to be the most appealing, with those bird people being the least.

 What a discovery she had made today! She was attracted to monsters! They were way more interesting to look at than boring old Mewmans! Who would’ve thought? She wondered if a Mewman had ever been attracted to monsters before? Surely someone had to. Yeah, there had to be someone out there, they just didn’t want to admit it. Well, Eclipsa wasn’t afraid to admit it! Well, to herself anyway. Saying it out loud, ooh! That would be a complete disaster!

 Hmm…she wondered what it would be like to date a monster? And how come she couldn’t find anything on Size-Shifters?

 Knock! Knock!

 “Eclipsa? It’s Mother.”

 Oh dear. Eclipsa hurriedly stuffed her photos underneath her mattress. She grabbed a brush and pretended to be transfixed on her hair. “Come in!”

 Solaria entered the room, a pair of snooker bars in her right hand. “Hello, darling. I’ve come with a peace offering.”

 Eclipsa smiled softly. “Oh Mother…I’m sorry I ran away like I did. I just started freaking out and then I was so embarrassed…but I know I didn’t make a good impression on the High Commission.”

 Solaria sat beside her daughter and handed her one of the candy bars. “Well, maybe that wouldn’t have happened if I hadn’t just brushed off your Mewburty the way I did. Forgive me for that. It’s so easy for me to forget the trials of growing up. It wasn’t that long ago when I was a child myself. Heck, when I went through Mewburty, I wanted to throttle every boy I came across. I sent many to the hospital. They had to lock me up, I tell ya.”

 “Did Uncle JJ ever go through it?”

 Solaria snorted. “I think so. His transformation lasted for five minutes before he sneezed, then it was done. It was so weird.” She frowned as she looked at her daughter. “So….did you have any strange obsessions during your transformation?”

 Eclipsa shook her head. “Nope. I just flew around the woods for awhile until I finally calmed down.”

 “I wish you hadn’t done that. A monster could’ve seen you, and then who knows what would’ve happened?” She sighed and opened her own candy bar. “Still…you shouldn’t have had to gone through that on your own. I’m sorry, my darling.”

 Eclipsa smiled softly and rested her head on the other’s shoulder. “It’s alright, Mother. I know it can be hard balancing being a queen and a mom at the same time.”

 “You used to cry whenever I’d get too busy,” Solaria said softly.

 “I’d like to think I’m a little more mature now.” Eclipsa moved her hair to reveal a pair of tiny white wings fluttering rapidly. “So, do you really think I’ll be able to turn into a Butterfly when I get older?”

 Solaria giggled. “Well, let’s hope so! I think you’d make a beautiful Butterfly. I’m kind of sad I didn’t get to see your Mewburty version of your Ultimate Form. I’ll bet it was quite the sight!”

 Suddenly, a certain purple-haired man shoved his way in between the girls. “I’ll bet! Clippy, you should’ve saw me in my Mewburty form! I was just fabulous! Wingz for dayz I tell ya!”

 Eclipsa laughed while Solaria gave him a bewildered look. “Jushtin, when did you get here?!”

 “I’m tellin’ ya, Clippy. I was the talk of the town for a long time!”

 “It only lasted five minutes! A lot of people question whether or not it actually happened!”

 “And where’s my snookers? I like candy too, y’know? Why was I not included in this yummy for tummies meeting?”

 “Will you just give me a moment with my daughter?!”

 “Give me a moment with your candy first!”

 “UGH!”

Whew! This took a while to write! I’m so sorry for the delay, but at least the chapter is really long, right? Anyway, something that I noticed in my story so far is that I’m showing a lot of what happens to Globgor and Eclipsa as a result of their relationship, but I haven’t taken the time to show what that relationship is exactly. I mean, I’ve said again and again that they’re close friends, but I haven’t shown them just being friends. Okay so, that’s something to look forward to in the next chapter. There’s not going to be any Globgor having to chase Eclipsa down, for a change. In fact, Globgor’s village won’t be in it. We’re going to see what kind of hijinks these kids get into when they’re just hanging out and spending time together. And what will that be like now that they realize that they have a newfound attraction towards one another? Stay tuned for the next chapter to find out!

I turned 27 on March 1st. I’m officially in my late 20s, and I have both good and mixed feelings about it. Here’s a list of things I accomplished/did in my 26th year:

1.) Moved out of my parents house into my own apartment. Despite the fact that I dislike my roommate, I enjoy the freedom very much.

2.) Earned a pay increase for my outstanding work performance in my first year.

3.) I ended a relationship that was very toxic to me and my growth. It was difficult for me to clearly see what was going on through an objective lense, but it only took me six months to really figure it out.

4.) Took my first shot at a dating app! It was HORRIBLE! 0/10 would not recommend!

5.) Unfortunately, I lost a friend. They became very jealous and spiteful as I began to excel at work and receive recognition for my efforts and my desire to achieve more.

6.) Applied for my MPH and got in!

7.) I made a very good friend and kept my close friends.

8.) I reached out to my old best friend/flame/lover? I don’t even know what I’d call him at this point. The man I never considered being in a relationship with because I assumed it’d be a disaster. Despite my 20 year curb of him, we’ve been dating for six months and he is exactly the man I need to be with.

9.) I took an amazing vacation in North Carolina on the Outer Banks. I soaked up every possible moment of sunshine, beach, and pool.

10.) I witnessed my friend of many, many years get married to her best friend.

11.) I became a godmother to my perfect neice, Kallista.

12.) I made a pact with myself that I would stop looking back. I haven’t looked back at any exes, former friends, or revisited any negative/emotionally fraught territory. It’s just not worth it. None of those people really cared about me, and, if I’m being honest with myself, I didn’t really give a fuck about them either.

13.) I’ve been consistently purging my closet to make room for other big parts of my life. I don’t need so many clothes.

14.) Read some awesome books!

15.) Became closer to my family.

16.) Allowing myself to trust my significant other and let him take charge/initiative in having a helping hand in creating the life we want together. He encourages me to try new things and he pushes me out of my comfort zone, which I need. He’s individually ambitious by nature, which complements my ambition as well. He’s truly wonderful, and I am very, very lucky.

17.) I only made of piece of art, but my boyfriend is buying me a camera so I can start taking more pictures. It’s super hard balancing work, school, bills, and everything else.

18.) My great uncle passed away, which was a sad moment for me and my family. But I will name my future son after his mother, my great grandmother, which is also my namesake. The family name will live on.

19.) I hosted two parties! The one in the summer was more a success than the holiday party. But still!

20.) I need to go with the flow. 🤷🏻‍♀️
